GOALS
Content Standards: Students will learn how to interview successfully for a job by creating interview questions, sitting in a mock interview, serving on a mock interview panel, evaluating interviewee's answers on a rubric, and collaborating to select the best candidate for the job based on all of the above.
Instructional Objectives: By the end of this unit of study students will be able to prepare, ask, and answer typical interview questions by having researched jobs, developed interview questions, sitting on mock interview panels as both the interviewee and interviewer.
Unit of study will meet the following standards:
Creativity and innovation Critical thinking, problem solving, decision making
Communication and collaboration Digital citizenship
Research and information fluency Technology operations and concepts
ACTION
Before-class preparation: Technology: Estimate time needed for each task in lesson plan. Identify prerequisites for this lesson (computer skill level). Decide order of operations (before, during and after lesson). Plan back up activities to cover allotted time and allow for technical difficulties. Make sure you have Internet access, and access to websites needed for instruction (i.e. YouTube). Connect webcam to instructor computer for demonstration.
Student guidelines: Prepare lesson summary, course-related handouts, tutorials, and activity sheets, along with rules for collaboration and team leader rules for submitting final project.
Prepare learning environment: Boot up computers; make sure Internet connection is online, and necessary software for lesson is working properly; check lighting in classroom; set out materials for distribution to students; write lesson objective on whiteboard; prepare to greet students upon arrival. Set up breakout rooms for teams to work; make sure computers, software programs, and Internet connection is working. Check lighting and materials (tables, chairs, pens, paper) in breakout rooms.

Back-up plan: Have extra copies of written materials that can be worked on if technology fails.
EVALUATION
Lesson reflections and notes: Take notes on what worked and didn’t work during the presentation. Were students engaged? Were they interested? Were they yawning or seemingly bored? Read student responses on unit of study evaluation forms and modify this unit of study for the future as appropriate. Collect materials; shutdown computers in breakout rooms and main room.
